Anton Chekhov

'I did have hallucinations, but did they harm anyone? Who did they harm, that's what I'd like to know!'

A Nervous Breakdown

It was insufferably dry, and yet I still felt compelled to finish the whole thing. 

Three short stories, each focusing on things such as; obsession, fear, hallucinations, deep contempt, delusions, and bliss.

Slightly boring. I expected something more thrilling and shocking by reading the summary. And especially the first and main story was underwhelming.

I did have hallucinations, but did they harm anyone? Who did they harm, that's what I'd like to know!' This title features three disturbing tales of supernatural hallucinations, hysterical obsession and moral decay. It includes fables, decadence, heartbreak, tall tales, satire, ghosts, battles and elephants.

I read it all in one sitting and am completely in awe! I LOVED the stories. A Nervous Breakdown and The Black Monk swept me off my feet. Anna Round The Neck was less enchanting, but nevertheless very good as well. 10/10 would recommend. I am definitely going to read more of Chekhov's short stories!
